Wired: A 4-Week Devotional Experience for Students

You have heard that this generation of students is disengaged. They have checked out. They can't peel their eyes away from their phones. Maybe you believe they're a hopeless case. In a disconnected and distracting world, how can teens connect with God and with others?

As social media savvy as they are, as plugged in and fast-paced as they are, deep down, today's teenagers still experience a steady stream of questions that no amount of cell phone use and Netflix watching will make disappear. They, like all generations before them, have questions about faith, about their identity, and about their purpose.

Wired walks students through four key ideas:

• Connecting with God: How to interact with a God we can't see or touch.
• Loving their life: How to better understand who God made them to be.
• Embracing community: How to treat the people around them and to surround themselves with the right people.
• Serving others: How to use the gifts they have to make an impact on the world around them.

Whether your students have been in church for 10 years or 10 weeks, Wired supports solid, foundational beliefs about God, themselves, and others, and then equips them to put these beliefs into action.

Wired is a four-week, interactive journal and is part of the XP3 Devotional Series, which includes Know God: A 28-Day Devotional Experience for Students.
